Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, taken by Lakers with 55th pick in NBA draft

Associated Press  

It was the dream that LeBron James first floated a few years ago, the notion of playing in the NBA alongside one of his sons. Bronny James — the oldest son of the NBA’s all-time scoring leader and four-time champion — was drafted Thursday by the Los Angeles Lakers, the team that his father has played for since 2018. And NBA history should be made in a Lakers uniform.” The draft move doesn’t guarantee that father and son will actually play in a game together, nor does it even guarantee that Bronny James will be on the Lakers’ roster next season. “With the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA draft, the Los Angeles Lakers select Bronny James from the University of Southern California,” NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum said in announcing the pick, making the moment official for the 19-year-old, who was born just before the start of his father’s second NBA season. “That was what was expressed to him on the phone call.” Bronny James played one year of college basketball at USC and averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game last season.
